SEC. 2. FEASIBILITY STUDY ON TSA COMMUTING BENEFITS.
(a) In General.--Not later than 270 days after the date of the
enactment of this Act, the Administrator of the Transportation Security
Administration shall submit to the Committee on Homeland Security of
the House of Representatives and the Committee on Commerce, Science,
and Transportation and the Committee on Homeland Security and

Administration employees working at airport locations spend traveling
between regular duty locations and airport parking lots and bus and

(b) Considerations.--In conducting the feasibility study required
under subsection (a), the Administrator of the Transportation Security
Administration shall consider the following with respect to
Transportation Security Administration employees:
(1) The amount of time needed by such employees to travel
between regular duty locations and airport parking lots and bus
and transit stops at small hub airports, medium hub airports,
and large hub airports (as such terms are defined in section
40102 of title 49, United States Code).

average, exclusive of the time described in paragraph (1).
(3) The potential benefits to such employees and the
Administration of treating as on-duty hours the time described
in such paragraph.
(4) The feasibility of using mobile phones, location data,
and any other means to allow such employees to report their
arrival to and departure from the airport parking lots and bus
and transit stops concerned.
(5) The estimated costs of treating as on-duty hours the
time described in such paragraph, including by considering such
hours creditable as basic pay for retirement purposes.
(6) Other considerations determined appropriate by the
Administrator.
